Re: Pacers photoshoot featured in GQ magazine(LeBron on cover)

Homosexuality seems to be the one thing off limit these days. Make a comment related to how a person looks, dresses, where they're from, what they believe in, or what they do, and it's acceptable. Make a hate-free, completely non-serious comment about homosexually, and get slandered and flooded with tears.

You would think if people truly cared about the delicate sensitivities of others, their concern wouldn't be so highly selective. It's almost as if they're being told what to think and believe from the media or something.

I feel sad that you think everything but homosexuality is somehow fair game.

George's look on his face is priceless. How he allowed anyone to put that hat on him like that is crazy. The sad thing is I have seen people actually wear hats like that when it is freaking cold. Kind of defeats the whole purpose. I guess I am just not hip enough.

The only thing about "no homo" that is offensive is how not funny it is.

So why say anything at all. This photo shoot has nothing to do with gay rights. There is just still a huge bias on this issue and it will always be a sensitive issue. Too bad this thread went there but it sure doesn't surprise me.

Because I responded to someone earlier who complained of 'homophobic' comments made by others, and I felt he was being too sensitive, and in turn by not siding with him, the stereotype would be for others to then assume that I am anti-gay or homophobic simply because I wasn't offended by the same jokes he was offended by, so I felt I ought to clarify my position.

That…..or you have good enough taste to wonder why someone asked ( but I'm guessing told ) him to wear that.

When I look at that picture….I get the sense that they tried to show them as "Bad Boys"….whereas I'd honestly think that they should have gone with a more classy and styling type look.
